Calla seed? when and how

Wichita, KS(Zone 6a)

This maybe a repeat question, I look at past treads, but did see any. If anyone knows of a past tread let me know. My question: My calla has nice size green seeds, when do I collect them? How do I collect them? What do I need to do them? How do I store them? Have I missed asking something? This is the first season for Calla and me. Well heck it's the first year for me and the hosta, EE, coral bells, passion vine, black eye susan vine, moon vine etc........... I'm just asking about the Calla for now. Any and all suggestions are needed and appreciated.

Thanks for the link! One quick question I saw your pic of the seed head. My question is - do you remove the bloom from around the seed head or do you leave it alone? The blooms on mine are real tight around the seeds; they are still in great form and color. Just not sure if the seeds need air as they ripen.

No, don't remove it as it will protect the seed head from the weather, as nature meant.
